How to flog an old Sierra? - C.A.R. - 28-05-2013 So the father in law wants to sell his Sierra since be just isn't arsed to put it back on the road. Meticulously serviced and looked after as it was once his pride and joy. How would you go about selling it? Pistonheads no longer do free adverts for cheap cars. I'm thinking retrorides forums? But not sure if a noob can just put a for sale ad up. I don't know anything about it, run the numberplate and you'll know more than me! Pretty rare sight these days! Would be cool to see someone get some use out of it. RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - karl1989 - 28-05-2013 what price he after? RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - ozonehostile - 28-05-2013 if its a tidy rust free shell it will be alot more appealing. its these well looked after retro fords that people look for as bases for cossie reps. good place to advertise would be retroford mag, i think a ad was free when i was a subscriber RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - Dicky - 28-05-2013 Sierra Sapphire LX 1769cc ^ for anyone whos interested Re: How to flog an old Sierra? - Tyronnster - 28-05-2013 Date of Liability 01 04 2014 Date of First Registration 28 09 1992 Year of Manufacture 1992 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1769cc CO2 Emissions Not Available Fuel Type PETROL Export Marker N Vehicle Status SORN Not Due Vehicle Colour RED Vehicle Type Approval RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - Pete - 29-05-2013 Sure me or Liam would be able to advertise it on your behalf. If its cheap enough it'll sell quick! How to flog an old Sierra? - THE_Liam - 29-05-2013 Yeah I'd be happy to. Get some more details like mileage, equipment, trim level, rust spots and post them up and I'll get it on RR. RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - C.A.R. - 29-05-2013 Cheers chaps, I'll probably head back up there at the weekend, he didn't have the keys on him at the time hence no pics of the interior, but it looks to be in very good nick from the outside! Had a quick look underneath and couldn't see any rust...but it is a Ford, so there may be some somewhere. RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - Willo - 29-05-2013 Check the rear arches and rear chassis legs also rear seatbelt mounting points there the most common rust problems on these How to flog an old Sierra? - THE_Liam - 29-05-2013 (29-05-2013, 06:13 PM)Willo Wrote: Check the rear arches and rear chassis legs also rear seatbelt mounting points there the most common rust problems on these Also sills, battery tray, inner wings, and everywhere else.

Really want a kit car cos Im missing RWD. I would happily have another Dutton but they have quadrupled in price since i last bought one. Really tempted by an MK indy R deluxe kit at just shy of £4k, realistically needs a sierra and an SVA and thats it so £5k or bike engined for not alot more RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - Tallguy_2 - 29-05-2013 I'd be intrested mate, if not I could find a home depending on how much he wants, all the short oval boys use them shells in the lightning rods.

Are the lightening rods still going? My cousin was national champion several times over back in the late 80s to mid 90s Still has his old race engine on a work stand in his garage RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - R1CH4RD - 30-05-2013 The 2 litre saloon stock cars use these shells. They may have interest in it for spares RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - Tallguy_2 - 30-05-2013 Yeah, the 'loons have changed so much, some still use the sierras, we were looking at a new one at the show, they are so unrecognisable now we didn't even realise it was a vectra! Swampy who's your cousin? Yeah slowly fading though RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - devils_fuel - 31-05-2013 (30-05-2013, 06:05 PM)R1CH4RD Wrote: The 2 litre saloon stock cars use these shells.

David evans Hasn't raced for around twenty years I reckon Used to race a hatch shelll, blue and yellow paint job, same as his dad used in lotus cortinas back in the 70s Though we are looking at building something for his son to race in RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - C.A.R. - 02-06-2013 Had a little chat with him earlier, not really sure what its worth, but when it was last running in 2011 it was cherished so it may only need a little service and provide many miles of happy motoring...or banger racing haha. Couple more pics- If I say £550, what do people think? Way too high? It's done 68,000 miles. Please let me know your thoughts!! RE: How to flog an old Sierra? - THE_Liam - 02-06-2013 If it's not rotten that's a good price, if it is then you might get £300. Does look cleaner than most though. Reminds me of my mates old one, because insurance was surprisingly cheap when I was running a Fiat Uno at 17 he had a 1600 Sapphire Azura, was pretty slow but far better than my Uno |
